This was a pleasant occasion in which my cousins from south africa visited , knowing their love for seafood and living in southgate there was only one place to go! It lived up to its expectations is my cousins demolished the best of a meze for 4 , many dips , grilled kalamari and med prawns went down well with a bottle or two of Rioja, thank you Thalassa for this joyous evening , my cousins and i shall return in the nearby future

I went in for my uncles birthday. It was the 12 of us and we had the big table in the corner it was a saturday and they had piano music. The waiter recommended us to go full greek and order the house meze. My cousin who is allergic to fish had a great wild boar meal with caramelised onions and he loved it. Our 1st course arrived with some amazing dips which i can not even describe or name (only by colour :P) Our second course was on its way with some 'hot flavours fresh from the sea of cyprus' as our waiter joked to my suprise this was amazing..... this night was looking good we had just finished our 2nd course and the waiter offered us ouzo which is a greek aperitif and can be mixed with water and ice , well after having our drink our 3rd course was ready for us we had some lovely grilled fish which was cooked to perfection and was sided by fresh greek salad and some lovely fries.

Well to be honest i was really thoughtfull of this visit as we have been to alot of greek restaurants in the area and this the first time that we did not need to worry about hygiene as the place was spotless nor did we need to worry that because of being a saturday the waiters or the owners will rush us out to get a second seating.

I can recommend this place as we had a wonderfull time and will go back for sure...

P.S stef i believe you were next door in the kebab shop

I went there with my family and guests over from South London after I suggested we have our Sunday lunch here. I never felt more embaresed in my life. The food was mediocre, they have brought the wrong dish to my son, the amount of food for mezedes was so little I restrained myself from eating so our guests don't go home hungry. The calamari was so hard and the plate had more flour that calamari (and I thought I don't know to cook calamari). Atmosphere was dull because they only had a couple of tables. You will be better off at the Red Papers in Cockfosters. My Company that I work for told us that they agreed with Thalassa to give us a 10% discount so that they get some business through the dorr. When we were about to pay the arrogant manager was in denial and so stingy! When your restaurant is empty well then this is not the best to increase your customer base. Will never go there again, nor would I recommend this place to anyone! Awful too expensive for what they offer.

A group of us went on Saturday evening. It was not an enjoyable night!

There seemed to be zero attention to detail, nobody told us the dishes that had run out, we hade to beg for our wine to be bought to the table. Then the waiter got two of our mains wrong and missed one completely.

When we called him over he rudely told us we must have ordered incorrectly! No apologies or anything. We later found out he was the owner which basically is probably the big problem with this place.

Never again....
